Poll The Best Adaption Of The Joker Poll! (38 votes)
I decided to do this poll about to figure out peoples opinion on who the best Joker is, and who done the best adaption of the character. I decided to do these three as they have been considered to be critically acclaimed adaptions.
Personally, while I find myself loving the Nolanverse Joker, I really only love it for Ledger's great performance. Though, when I want a great performance AND a much more faithful version of the character, I find myself going to the DCAU Joker. Amazingly, a friend of mine linked me to an article detailing what Jeph Loeb had to say about who done the best adaption of the character, he simply replied saying, "Bruce Timm and Paul Dini."
He went onto to say that their Joker was "virtually flawless" and "which is really extraordinary, given the times, that they rethought how Batman should be presented in an animated way and wound up telling some of the best Batman stories that have ever been told."
Also, on a side-note, I didn't know until today that Luke Skywalker played the Joker! Me and a friend of mine were watching Avatar: the Last Airbender on television, he pointed out that Hamill was voicing a certain character (I can't remember who exactly), and he also pointed out that he voiced the Joker in the Animated Series.
Which is your favorite Joker? Give your reason(s) for your favorite adaption of the Joker!
